free yard bushes

[rahulbot.livejournal.com]

Looking for bushes?  These are for you! 
We've got a couple of evergreen bushes that we don't need in our yard.  Dig them up and take them away, otherwise I'll have at them with the hedge trimmer and other tools of destruction.

Pictures here: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/zip/1126500697.html

update:
Not sure why this is so confusing to some folks - but most of the bushes are taken, there are just 2 left.  Deep roots though, so be prepared to dig.  Message me directly if you're interested.

NB: There's an old scam (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/03/craigslist_scam.html) where someone posts "I'm moving and don't want any of my stuff, please just come take it at 123 XYZ St. -- door's open", but the poster isn't actually the occupant of that address!

Anyone interested in taking the bushes should at least make a good-faith effort to verify that this offer is legit (say, by knocking on the door and asking the person who answers if they can take the bushes.)

There's no street address given in the ads, anyway.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, nice try but some of us know this gag.

No scam - my address isn't anywhere on these posts. Three bushes gone. One dug up for anyone that wants an easy pickup. A few still left to dig out and take.

So, your efforts are targeted at Psychic Amateur Landscapers?

No proof you're the owner of the bushes, either.

No scam - my address isn't anywhere on these posts.

This is either a remarkably dumb or extremely clever troll.

Or a person who wanted to change his/her landscaping and offered evergreens that he/she didn't want.

.... to people who don't know where he lives.

I never give my address on Craigslist when I am advertising something for sale or free. Interested people reply to the ad by e-mail and GET my address.
